odd ball question....

[txbob]

HI all... Thanks for all the help here...

I need to do the graphic representation of a black hole...Like the glowing outline of the object's polygons...

Here's the curious part.... This object (there are actually 2 of them) are turn tables on a DJ rig, and as the camera moves around these "holes" need to be seen only from the top, and when you look in them, they aren't showing the scene.....just this warpy grid thing....

think 3d simpsons episode..... but only seen when looking in the turntables...

I hope I explained this well enough to get some answers or comments...

Go under render options and select "Wireframe" under render mode and output your file as a 32 bit targa. Comp it in AE with a colored solid set to luma matte.

P.S. If your "vortex" is a sub-d then you will get a triangulated wireframe.

P.P.S. To get a glow effect add a little fast blur and brightness/contrast in AE.
